An Apple a Day.....................

At a very young age, I learned about apples from my Grandmother. In fact, before it gained name and fame as a brand of computer, McIntosh (notice the spelling difference) was the first kind of apple I ever heard of.

Many a fall day, I made homemade applesauce using freshly picked McIntosh.

It’s a great eating apple, but an even better cooking apple. So, as expected, my children starting eating homemade applesauce before they could walk, and continue to love it today.

Apples are one of the few fruits in which varieties have specific purposes, although all of them are good for eating fresh.

Apple came from the Romans and Egyptians, who initially introduced them to Britain, and then they were exported to America.
